Life archive continuity

Inheritance and posthumous handover for proof identity.

A Life Proof Archive needs a succession rule. PLENA's roadmap defines how a person designates trusted contacts, releases selected records after death or incapacity, and protects vulnerable people from coercion or premature disclosure.

Why this matters

Diaspora users, elders, refugees, clergy, writers, founders, caregivers, and families all need proof that survives disruption.

Death

Posthumous handover

Selected archive lanes can be released to a designated heir, executor, lawyer, family member, or institution.

Incapacity

Trusted proof delegate

A person can name a delegate who receives limited access when incapacity is documented by approved evidence.

Displacement

Emergency recovery

A displaced person can recover public-safe proof metadata and selected records without carrying fragile paper files.

Handover protocol draft

1

Designation

User names trusted contacts and permitted archive lanes.

2

Trigger

Death, incapacity, missing-person event, displacement, or court order is documented.

3

Review

Human reviewer checks trigger evidence and conflict risk before release.

4

Release

Only authorized records are delivered with a VRX-1 handover receipt.

Safety rule: Life Archive Handover should begin as a roadmap and policy design, not a legal promise. Production release requires counsel, privacy review, abuse-prevention design, and local inheritance/incapacity law analysis.
